    IHMO if you are interested in coursework, you're after a piece of paper to impress the suits who don't know any better. It has NOTHING to do with education much less learning to be a good programmer as in my experience there's a reason most "educators" are in their profession. Generally they are unqualified to be flapping their gums on the topics they are allegedly there to teach, and it's a colossal waste of time if you ACTUALLY want to learn good practices, good methodologies, and become a "good programmer".

    To be brutally frank (when am I ever anything but) IMHO a college degree, ANY college degree in IE/CompSci/CompEng isn't even suitable for wiping ones ass with. There are only two things it's good for:

    1) proving you can sit there, behave, and rote memorize things you most likely should NEVER use once actually working in the profession.

    2) Impressing people like human resources executives who know Jack-All about what they are hiring people for.

    YMMV.

    There is a lot of good courses in the MOOCs for instance coursera, edx etc. You don't need an undergrad degree to be a good computer programmer.
